They're alias modules though which already seems to handle multiple parameters. Regular modules don't if the documentation is to be believed (and I'm not sure I believe it...) Following the logic in the docs, if you have: pets -a dog cat rabbit You would end up with 3 directories in the current directory called 'dog', 'cat' and 'rabbit', and no 'pets' directory at all (since 'co pets' is equivalent to 'co dog cat rabbit'). That seems clear enough (I think?). Rather than try to come up with examples myself (and inevitably get them wrong as in the last time I tried to make any sense of the modules code) I need to find out what the modules code actually does in complex cases (rather than what it claims to do, which appears to be different in many cases to the documentation). At some point I can then try to write a modules->modules2 script that will hopefully yield the same results. Tony -- Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.
